Cold Water Drinking Stops Food Digestion

There is an upper GI-series X-ray test that allows a radiologist to spot a peptic ulcer. Before going through this test one must drink a thick white chalky barium solution, which allows a radiologist to monitor its movement through your upper GI tract and to observe abnormalities. Forty years ago, radiologists noticed that the barium drink when consumed cold would leave the stomach and move to small intestines much quicker as compared to a slower evacuation of a warm drink. This was annoying for radiologists who did not have enough time to watch the process and, thereby, spot a peptic ulcer. Radiologists started experimenting with food and cold-water drinking after eating. This is the way many people have their cold drinks – right after or right before consuming a meal.

If the stomach’s content is colder than body temperature, then foods such as meat, fish, poultry, cheese, beans, nuts, and seeds, which are normally predigested in the stomach for 4-5 hours, are pushed out of the stomach to the small intestines in only 20 min. Food that are not processed to a certain condition in the stomach can not be broken down further when in the small intestines. That is why our food starts fermenting / putrefying in the intestines instead of being digested. Thus, a number of toxic chemicals are produced that cause bloating, belching, burping, bad breath, diarrhea, dysbacteriosis, headache, allergies, and a host of other disorders. This is how the indigestion is created; and indigested protein in our body is a cause of allergic reactions.

Definition: “Indigestion is just another name for an upset stomach – discomfort or colic abdominal pain. It usually happens when people eat too much or too fast, or have foods that don’t agree with them and with a normal digestive process.”

Therefore… drink plenty of room-temperature water 30 min beforeyour meal, or four hours after eating a protein meal. Your food digestion slows down dramatically if your concentrated stomach juices, which are required for your proper food digestion, are diluted with water, even if it’s warm. It’s like filling up your gas tank with a mixture of 25% gasoline and 75% water and trying to drive your car. If your meal is too thick and hard to swallow, add more fresh raw salad to it and chew each bite many times until it is liquefied. If you travel the world and study the eating-and-water-drinking habits of different cultures, you’ll find no culture, besides Western, that drinks cold water while eating or right after it.

Nice to be visiting your forex blog again, it has been months for me. Well this forex article that i’ve been waited for so long. I need this forex article to complete my assignment in the college, and it has same topic with your article. Thanks, great share.

The regular textbooks on clinical biochemistry explain that, and just middle school basic data on the organic molecules reactions state that speed of them slows DOWN or stops when the temperature of a solution drops, that is lowers. You may consult, Ellen, a high-school textbook on biochemistry, please.

“Non-GMO” Food Label

In all of the European Union countries, Japan, Australia, China, New Zealand, and many other countries it is mandatory to label foods that contain genetically modified ingredients – it’s not in the U.S.

However, there is a way to find out whether the fruit is a Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) – the sticker.

A four-digit number is on any conventionally grown fruit or vegetable (with pesticides), like 4011 on bananas.

A five-digit number beginning with 9 means it’s organic.

A five-digit number beginning with 8 means it’s genetically modified.

Be aware that no one uses that “8” yet. And why would they if most Americans express they would avoid buying those labeled GMO? Who would like to end up with the organ damage the GMO- fed lab animals had?

To avoid GMO food,

Buy certified organic products.

Look for a “Non-GMO” label on a product. Examples are: soy milk, tofu, corn cereals, or HFCS in soda, ice creams, cookies, and other processed foods.

If you put aside a little bit of the same cream, but without vit. C and the brown rice flour, you can apply it under your eyes area.

This cream cleanses your face, feeds it, refreshes, softens, moisturizes, and brings a healthy glow to it. It’s good for teens, boys and girls, and men and women. It calms you mind as well – so enjoy it!
